BAXTER's LATEST HARANGUE.
NEW 70 h, Feb. PA last nights
session of the prophetic conference, Rev.
Baxter OF England took for his subject,
"Tne great crisis is at hand" He took
up the question of the seven trumpets OF
the revelation. These, ne said, would
be sounded thrice toward each four parts
of the world, and would be the signal to
prepare for the millennium. All calcula-
tions pointed to the period of S97 10 1900
as the beginning of the millennium. Dur
ing the previous decade great wars
and revolutions would stransform
the present tWenty-three kingdoms
into ten. He based his assertion
Oh Daniels dream of the lion with ten
large and one small horn. The Kingdoms
would comprise France, with the Rhine
as boundary, and ports Wurtenburg,
Bavaria and Baden; Britain without Ire
land or India; Spain, Italy, Sicily, Bull
gsria, Turkey, Egypt, Austria and Greece.
These countries were the ten Ro-
man provinces which were repre-
sented in parts of the statue of
Daniel. He interpreted Acknowledgement
as the eleventh King, who was to be con-
uueror of them all. His kingdom was
finally to Dc conquered by France and her
nine allies. The anti Christ was TO come
out of the house of Napoleon, to be of
fiery countenanCe and man OF sin, full
of w.!es. He is presumed to be Prince
jerome Napoleon or Plon-PiOn. The
number Cos on the forehead or right hand
would designate Nspoleon's followers.
All others were to perish on the guillo-
tine. He would make seven years. Gov
enant with the Jews, but would break it
after three and half years. About this
time Christ would appear and the IA, 900
watchful Christians would be taken from
the earth in an instant. Their sudden
taking off might cause great accidents,
as lives innumerable would be depending
upon them. In the last three years be-
fore 1900 demons would rule the earth
for thirteen months and kill one-third the
people of the world. The demon of To-
Gusts with scorpion stings would do
deadly work for five months. Elijah and
another would come to help Christ, with
the power to kill with fire out of their
mouths From 1897 to 1900 the
world would gradually become con-
yerted, until the sounding of the
seven trumpets, when it would be
destroyed Dy great earthquakes, fire and
other destructive agencies. Then the
reign of Christ would begin and continue
1000 years. Attention WAS drawn to the
great earthquakes in Europe as one Of
the omens CT coming trouble. At times
the audience were greatly excited and at
one terrific prediction q woman went in
to fits through excitement.
